Wherever he is in afterlife, Israel Cohen, avowed Communist, is smiling. His book on race relations, published in 1912, laid out a plan for the subversion of America by teaching blacks they are victims, teaching whites to feel guilty, and at every turn helping blacks to succeed in professions, entertainment, and sports. End result--exactly what we have today--a minority group which seemingly will never be satisfied because they cannot get over the slave period; a group of whites who hate America because we once permitted slavery; and unprecedented success for members of the black race, including Pres. of the US.

What is so utterly preposterous is these attitudes when juxtaposed with the actual conditions prevailing in the countries the slave ancestors came from versus what they have or could have in the US today.

A look at slavery, historically, shows that the Romans held Greeks as slaves, though Greeks were culturally advanced and both were WHITE. When the barbarians swept down over civilized Europe, they took slaves, and all or most were WHITE. When slave ships brought slaves to No. and So. America, they picked them up in ports with slave markets where Muslem Arab slavers had gathered them and sold them, although many blacks here are embracing Islam while hating America. The fierce, warlike Indian tribes here enslaved the agrarian tribes, taking slaves and selling and bartering them. So much for the erroneous idea that only the awful, arrogant US ever bought and sold human beings. It is ongoing, today, in much of the world, mostly in Islamic countries.

When they start talking reparations, and giving land back to original owners, where is the stopping place?

My own advice to disgruntled blacks and guilty whites is--GET THE HE// OVER IT!!! If they want to talk reparations, let them figure the amount owed the US for 144 years of opportunity since slavery here was abolished. The "O" can then replenish the treasury with monies collected from "grateful" blacks who live in the land of unprecedented freedom and plenty. He can start with himself and Michelle. What do Freepers think would be a suitable amount?
